Those of you that had experienced/know anyone that have left an abusive relationship, how did you go about actually leaving? I'm non confrontational by nature, coupled with the fear of being convinced to stay (again), I'm scared I won't be able to do it. DH wakes up late (think 1pm) so was thinking of slowly packing some essentials and leaving quietly early in the day while he's asleep. Would this be an awful idea? I have to factor in a 14 month old as well.
